Shmulik is asked to paint a mural celebrating Israeli Independence Day. He struggles to find inspiration, and while he is exploring the wonders of his town, his dog paints a masterpiece. The pictures tell their own story and alternate strategically between black-and-white and color. Unfortunately, both text and illustrations often miss opportunities to depict a specifically Israeli setting.
